GEO-SEO Extension for CoreMedia Content Cloud
About
As AI-powered search engines and answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews increasingly pull structured data to generate responses, how your content is understood by machines matters as much as how it ranks. JSON-LD schema markup is the language these systems rely on to interpret your content with confidence — giving it context, authority, and citability. Without it, even well-written content risks being overlooked or misrepresented in AI-generated answers.
Our new extension makes implementing JSON-LD effortless, ensuring your pages are not just visible, but intelligible — to both search engines and the AI systems shaping the future of discovery. It gives editors and content managers direct control over the most important SEO/GEO signals – directly from within CoreMedia Studio.
The extension adds two powerful GEO/SEO capabilities to your CoreMedia Blueprint:
1. GEO: Structured Data (JSON-LD)
The extension renders structured data in JSON-LD format into the page <head> using a view hook, enabling search engines to better understand and display your content in rich results.
It can be easily extended to fit your content types. Out-of-the-box, the following content types are supported:
- Pages (CMChannel) – rendered as WebPage
- Articles (CMArticle) – rendered as Article, including headline, publication date, images, and author information
- Persons (CMPerson) – rendered as Person, including name and URL
2. SEO: Robots Meta Tag Management
Editors can configure the <meta name="robots"> tag for each page directly in the SEO tab – no developer intervention required.
The following options are available per page:
- Indexing: index, noindex, noimageindex
- Following: follow, nofollow
- Miscellaneous: noarchive, nosnippet, notranslate
The configured options are automatically rendered into the page's HTML <head> via a FreeMarker tag provided by the extension.
